Gay Marriage, and a conservative I agree with.

@ 07:29 AM (20 months, 9 days ago)

 

Representative Ron Paul, R-Texas, wrote this little ditty about gay marraige back in 2004, and I'm with him 100%.  Leave it to the states to decide.  Bring back federalism, and get the national government out of micro-managing our lives.

Back in my idealistic youth, I did rail against states' rights, just as Mr.Paul says.  I was under the elitist and mistaken notion that what are "self-evident truths" up here in the North, would be equally self-evident and true throughout this nation.  I concede my error now.  Much of the country seems to think that NASCAR is actually a sport- what's the point in trying to debate the essential human condition with someone that thinks "foot to the metal and turn right" constitutes "sport"?

  3. I personally like the "COMBINATIONS" of lefts and rights ! It works well in moto cross, steeple chase, scramble, But back to your "TOPIC" of "HOMO'S"...EVEN ONE OF THOSE CAN BE "ATHLETIC' SO IT SHOWS THAT IT'S A BRAIN FUNCTION AS OPPOSED TO BODY BUILD. SO AS 'BRAINS" GO ....ANYBODY "GOT ONE" ???

  4. I would be all for leaving it to the states if legislating courts would accept the will of the people. Which they haven't.

    76% of Gerogians voted against ssm and the court struck down the voter's will on a perceived technicality.

  5. Not being in Georgia, and not being gay, I'm not up-to-date on the latest on Southern homophobia, but didn't the Georgia Supreme Court overturn that local ruling?
